13. A GI Junction box of dimension 150X150X50mm and IP 56 rating shall be installed inside the LV room
on wall at a suitable position at a height of 1600mm from finished floor level. The connection between
conduit and Junction box shall be through suitable couplings/adaptors.

14. A HDPE box of dimension 200x200x150mm shall be recessed on the interlock paved floor near meter
chamber and connected to the JB inside chamber through 25mm CPVC conduit with proper
couplings/adaptors. Interlock tiles shall be paved on the surface area (Min. 1000mm width) around the
meter chamber.

15. Meter chamber cover shall be of GRP material so that wireless/radio signals can get through for meter
communication.

16. Meter chamber cover shall be clearly and indelibly marked with DEWA logo and the wording ‘Water
Meter’ on the cover in Arabic and English language.

17. DEWA Account No. plate shall be affixed inside the meter chamber wall for identification.

18. The inlet valve and pipe before the meter shall be directly buried with a 150mm dia. ductile iron cover
to the inlet valve, and meter, strainer, outlet valve and associated pipes & fittings shall be inside the
chamber for 200mm dia. and greater size meters.
